Yes.
I was struggling with the question of, "Who am I?". T was frustrated, I believe. So he said.. "Who are you?" then stared intently. I said, "I don't know."
Again.. "Who are you? Stares at me while I squirm.
This went on and on. "Who are you. Who are you. Who are you." He wouldn't stop and I kept getting more and more uncomfortable and pissed off. My answers changed though.. "I'm a woman." "I'm a wife." "I'm unique."
At the end (i was ready to throw something at him) he asked if i think other people struggle as much as I did when put through this exercise. I said No.
He then said he did this experiment during training, and everyone struggles with it. Everyone reacts the same way. We all are trying to figure out this fundamental question. "Who am I?" " What is my purpose?" "What gives me meaning?"
It put things in perspective. It's the journey of discovery, the growth along the way. Everyone is lost in their own way, and I'm not alone.
I'm glad he pushes me.
